      • All match directors who are short on RSOs need to start cultivating regular participants who would be willing to take a PVGC sponsored RSO class. Have them contact Ben Lucchesi to coordinate with RSO trainers to host a class.

    • Safety –
      • A general statement concerning RSO’s: (Ben L./Tony S./Chuck N./Mike C.) although not explicitly required by the county, and in some cases it is not feasible/possible, it is our goal to have an RSO positioned on the firing line at all times, especially when people are downrange, to greet and direct people as they arrive and to ensure firearms are not being handled when they shouldn’t be.
      • Sandwich signs: (Addison M./Monty F.) purchase sandwich signs that can be setup at the firing line to help direct people as they arrive.
    • Liability – open question: what personal liability do match directors have when running a match? Ben Lucchesi will consult with an attorney and present findings at the next meeting.
